DALLAS -- Dozens of healthcare workers in Dallas could be restricted from traveling and going out in public. The voluntary restrictions are part of an agreement, one step short of a Disaster Declaration that County Commissioners considered.

"This is not Dallas' tornado, or Galveston's hurricane," said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins during an emergency meeting on Thursday. "This is America's Ebola outbreak," he said.
